That tradition stems from SGML, and in SGML it was also possible to |
| 12 |
minimize this kind of true values by telling attribute without value. |

The habit has carried over to XML even though it doesn't support |
| 14 |
attribute minimization. The reference can be found in the SGML handbook |
| 15 |
if you wish, I suppose. |
